"Twenty-Ten"

Say that outloud and then tell us where coins have brought you, To DATE ?

Coins really haven't gotten me to date, which is just as well considering I'm married.

I would pronounce that Two Thousand Ten, not Twenty Ten.

Did you say "twenty-nine" or "two thousand-nine"? I said the latter, so will say "two thousand-ten".

I said twenty - O - nine. I'll say twenty ten.

No new coins yet this year...

The easiest explanation is this:

18 hundred
19 hundred
20 hundred

Nobody would read the year 1998 as "One Thousand Nine hundred Ninety Eight."

Twenty hundred
Twenty ought one
Twenty ought two
...
Twenty ten

You say POTAYTOES, I'll say POTAHTOES. (Mispellings intentional). It really makes no difference what one calls it. Of course, here on the micro-hair-splitting trivia forum, it could become a major issue. Cheers, RickO

I like Twenty Ten. Just sounds cooler.
I have already purchased two coins this year. An 1878-S Morgan, PCGS AU58 (I'm thinking about an Everyman set) and a 1852 3C Silver, PCGS XF45.

Most likely correct unless they did not know they were reading a date, yet no one has issues as reading the date 2009 as Two Thousand and nine. Why is that?
